The US Department of Homeland Security announced the deportation of 116 illegal immigrants back to China via a large plane, marking the resumption of cooperation between the US and China on deportation after five years, with plans for more joint deportation flights. This move follows a meeting between the US and China's leaders at an APEC summit in California last year, signaling a reestablishment of their relationship. The US has toughened its immigration policy under President Biden, signing an executive order in June to halt asylum applications and deport illegal entrants if daily border crossings from Mexico exceed 2,500 people. CNN reports tensions rose during the recent presidential debate with Trump and Biden arguing over immigration, especially from China.
